If you told me that George Lopez was in a new "comedy" about an underground ping-pong tournament that stars some guy doing a Jack Black impression and needs not one but TWO groin shots in the trailer to convince you of how hard it's trying, I'd probably punch you in the stomach. So I can't say I'm exactly thrilled with the knowledge that Balls of Fury comes out on August 31st.

On the other hand… Christopher Walken could be in a movie where all he does is read scenes from Atlas Shrugged and I'd still pay to see it. Well, maybe not. But it would still be better than anything with George Lopez.

But without George Lopez, who will tell white people about how hysterical it is to grow up Chicano?

That movie looks like shit. I saw the trailer for that like, 6 months ago? I would love to know why and how movies this bad are still being made, marketed, and distributed.

This could actually be good. That is, if they’d cast someone except whomever the fuck that schlub is as the lead.

Yo Rocoo, take ur film school and shove it up ur ass, this work of motion picture looks like complete gar-bage, but not CWalk, he gets nice.

Patton Oswalt and Walken must really need a paycheck.

Angel Eyes Van Cleef (for now)

I laughed at the box of bees gag. I’m a sucker for bee gags. As long as the movie is no longer than the trailer then it won’t be too soul destroying.

Walken’s pretty much given up being a legit actor and now seems content playing caricatures of himself in worthless shit like this. Good God i wish Hollywood would actually get an original thought and quit making variations on the same crap over and over again.

Hey M Cervs, stop typing on your fucking Blackberry and drive.

MMP – Yeah, I was the one who made all those really interesting documentaries about how much my classmates sucked. My oeuvre…my life.

I’m not sure if I agree with the casting on this one. I don’t think audiences will buy James Hong as a Chinese master.

I guess Rocco didn’t get the memo that we all cower in fear from internet tough guys so it’s a pointless endeavor

Was that Terry Crews in that trailer? I think Terry Crews might be one of the most underrated supporting comedians in recent years.

This movie needs more Louie – “I wanna dip my BALLS in it!!” – and less George Lopez. Although really you could say that about anything.
